Sarah Pollman - The Distances Between Us

"The Distances Between Us is a visual investigation of cemetery markers used to describe the anonymous deceased. The book contains photographs of elaborately carved stones labeled father and mother and numbered markers from cemeteries that formerly served state-run hospitals, jails and schools. Collectively, the images explore photography’s inherent relationship to memory and loss, recalling nineteenth century post-mortem photographs, eulogic portraits of loved ones displayed on mantels, and the desperation we feel to immortalize the lost."

OUR PHILOSOPHY

There is no selecting, editing and/or curating involved. If your books meet the formal criteria, it will be listed regardless of its content and our tastes.

We only list books or zines that cannot be bought via Amazon or commercial chain book stored. Also no Blurb books or MagCloud magazines, since those can be found easily via Blurb's/MagCloud's website.

We only accept announcements about existing print books or zines (strictly no fundraisers). By "zine" we mean not regularly published magazines, but rather one-time publications (which are often xeroxed/cheaply printed and stapled, thus resembling a magazine).

At the time of the listing, the book/zine has to be available (no "sold out") so people can actually order it online. No repeat announcements or "special offers" or "30% off" sale announcements.
